"I DON'T NEED you two as bodyguards," I said to Jeremy and Matt, rolling my eyes. They were on, as Jeremy called it, 'suicide watch'. "My boyfriend and his best friend, following me around all day. With a sigh, I put the box I was holding in the back of Matt's car.
"Can't really risk anything happening to you. Jeremy wouldn't last a day without you," Matt teased as Jeremy set two more boxes into the car. "What are these again?"
"They're paper lanterns," Jeremy explained. The three of us helped prep for the funeral, which took place later today. "Student council made them for after the memorial. You light them up in honor of all the dead."
"That actually sounds pretty wonderful," I commented, smiling at the idea.
"Nobody thought fire might be a little inappropriate?" Matt questioned as the three of us moved to gather more boxes. I couldn't help but agree.
"Yeah, I wouldn't make that crack in front of Elena," Jeremy said, causing Matt to look over at him.
"How is she?" Matt asked. Jeremy paused, leaning against one of the boxes as he looked over at his best friend.
"Ah, does Matty Watty want to know how his poor girl is doing?" I teased, grinning from ear to ear when he glared at me. "Hey, if you're going to follow me around all day then I'm going to have some fun."
"I guess she's fine considering," Jeremy trailed off, obviously referring to her current state.
"If there's anything I can do, you know, short of giving her a ride, you'll let me know, right?" Matt looked up at Jeremy eagerly. "I'm only alive because she told Stefan to save me first."
"Don't blame yourself, Matt," I told him sincerely. "Trust me, it doesn't end well and I'm talking from recent experience."
"She's a vampire because of me," Matt argued and I shushed him at the loud usage of the V word.
"Hey, say it any louder and I won't need to use that stake 'cause someone will have done it for me," I said, giving him a pointed look. He shrugged in response.
"Well, I'd like to pay it back...or forward, whatever."
"Yeah," Jeremy nodded as he picked up a box, Matt too.
"Jeremy?" I stopped quickly upon hearing the girl calling my boyfriend's name. With furrowed eyebrows, I turned back around to see a girl with black hair and piercing blue eyes. "Pictured an emo pixie cut and braces."
"April?" Jeremy looked surprised as he set the box down, moving closer to the girl. "You look great!"
"Might need that suicide squad protection after this one," I muttered, earning an elbow in the ribs from Matt.
"Do you remember April? Elena used to-"
"Elena used to babysit you," Matt said, nodding as he smiled. "Yeah, I remember."
